Green Pear and Delft Vase- SOLD

"Green Pear and Delft Vase" 5"x7" oil on boardsold

Yeah!!! I'm over the internal battle of procrastinating and doing "anything but painting" phase of my returning to a "normal" life. After a year of multiple surgeries and numerous medical conditions ( including the big "C") I had not painted since last February and had a bit of creative anxiety. This commissioned painting resulted in success and made my client happy so all doubts about my present abilities are over!
An additional commission to repaint Blood Orange No. 2 is next on the easel and I may have another
request to paint this orange again as well by another client. So glad to have work to do, studio completly set up now and all ready to make art!!! WhooHoo!!!

Small Oil Paintings by Marilyn M King

After retiring from a 25year career as an illustrator,I took a brief hiatus fromart to work in the familybusiness.

I couldn't stay away long andin October of 2007 I returnedto my artistic roots to pursuea new career in fine art . Myjourney now finds me paintingin oils on various surfacesand in small formats. I seebeauty in everyday life and amconstantly seeing painting subjects everywhere I look.

As I paint a still life orintimate landscape, I'mtrying to capture the essenceof the beauty I see and tocommunicate somethingto the viewer that may nothave been noticed. I hopethat my work isvisual poetryas defined by Webster: showingthe "lyrical quality orstructural perfection of anobject, act, or experience".
